The project's framework must be the ddl framework, minimum. Else you can not add them. – kostas ch. Oct 25 '13 at 13:31

An assembly doesn't target a .NET Framework version, it targets a CLR version. That got murky in .NET 4.5, you can see the [TargetFramework] attribute with a decompiler like ildasm.exe – Hans Passant Oct 25 '13 at 13:50
